Hi --
Today, I've learned who to disable incoming mail delivery to dovecot
(accepted by postfix), temporarily. Now, I would like to know if
there is a way to make a "doveadm kick -A" a permanent disconnect
until one would allow reconnects, again? This should be done
*without* shutting down dovecot or *extensive* re-configuration. A
"doveadm block -u <joe> -m 'sorry: running maintenance, please, come
back later'" alike tool/funtionality would be ideal.
What I've been doing so far, is I configure dovecot 2.1 with a deny-hosts
file (in auth-deny.conf.ext) and then I can append a name to that file
to block them, and remove them to allow them back in. Since this file
is a simple text file with one username/address per line, it is very
easy to manage.
No idea if that would work for you, since your usage is for a different
reason than mine.
